Those thoughts not adopted
and orphaned alone
To never have surnames
—all bastards enthroned
(Villanova Pennsylvania: December 24, 2014)
Anonymity
Are you obligated
To retain
The verses you write,
Or do you systematically
Release
What no longer can survive
Unnamed,
As they mark the trail
Of their exit
With letters penned in
Judgment
That you no longer own,
Memory forming
An ancient speech pattern
Waiting silent and distant
For new words to create
An even newer anonymity
—where truth may be found
(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2014)
Verbal Explosion
Written in the moment
placed into time
The instant exploding
—forever to rhyme
(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2014)
Kill Shot
If language a bullet,
the pen is my gun
Its wound self inflicted,
the verse zero-sum
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2015)
